How Ice Age Humans Never Went Hungry (For 300,000 Years)

How did Ice Age humans survive 300,000 winters without a single fridge, farm, or grocery store? The answer isn't what documentaries usually show you. This video breaks down the real archaeology behind prehistoric food survival — bone grease rendering, permafrost storage pits, wild grain processing at Ohalo II, and the social systems that kept entire communities alive through famine.
